Exclusive for Podcrashers:
When four policemen unexpectedly boarded Air France 8969 on Christmas Eve morning in 1994, not even the flight crew was too concerned at first. But over three days of abject terror, all 220 passengers and 12 crew members would find out the truth about who these men were and what they wanted. In this Patreon-exclusive episode of Take to the Sky: The Air Disaster Podcast, Shelly walks us through an unforgettable story of courage under fire - and how this disaster might have signaled the worse things to come 7 years later.Credits:
